Tim Lapse - Nice Try (Bjorn Akesson Remix)

An adventurous, creative soul with a penchant for captivating storytelling, Chantelle Willow Spirit is a singer/songwriter, artist, and poet.  Her music ranges from vast instrumental soundscapes to highly poetic observations.  Chantelle has spent years honing her craft, studying the art of music theory, and embracing her love of language.  As a result, she is now ready to share her creations with the world in the form of her debut album, ‘Of Love & Dreams.’

Chantelle began her artistic pursuits at a young age.  Influenced by everything from Aboriginal American spirituals to classical music, she built up vast playlists including Brymo, Anita Baker, Enya, Sade, Art of Noise, Maxwell, Enigma, Annie Lennox, and KAMAL.  By combining her favorite elements of all these sounds, she began developing her own whimsically eclectic style. 

In 2016, Chantelle began releasing her first tracks on SoundCloud.  Her imaginative sounds quickly began to garner attention, winning her a small but devoted group of listeners.  In the ensuing years, she continued to build on her sound, focusing mostly on instrumental tracks that push the boundaries of the genre.  

Recently, she has begun to show the world another side of her artistry.  Having been fascinated with the magic of language for years, she has naturally begun to integrate poetry and lyricism within her music.  Combined with a drop dead gorgeous singing voice, the resulting music is uplifting and expressive, capable of speaking directly to the hearts of her listeners.  

"I can reach a multitude and be experienced without a word,” she says, “and when I speak, to only a few, I can be heard.”

This quote sums up everything that makes Chantelle an artist worth discovering.  Ambitious, empathetic, and curious, her music is sure to be welcomed by open-hearted listeners around the world.

Wow, hadn't realised what a journey SoundCloud would take me on.  After many years of passive listening to music I've dieted on a variety of tastes. My appetite for new sounds is undiminished and SC provides plenty of food. I am not a musician and have only recently started to listen positively to the sounds. My early years began listening to music from ABC, The Beatles, The Carpenters Dire Straits Eagles Fleetwood Mac Genesis Elton John Led Zeppelin Gilbert O'Sullivan Rod Stewart Supertramp Tangerine Dream Vangelis The Who and many more.
If you can't spot a trend in my current likes it may be because it is diverse. I love listening to all my playlists which contain tracks that I like and if you like any of the music you must thank the artists not me.

Be Unique.....Be an example for others... Be a Legend :)
